"... then the rest of the body dies."
RGIII should be on 24 hour surveillance. Who knows how many former Saints players on other teams were involved in BountyGate?
There are some career enders in there...
Saints fans are great people. You might be thinking of a raiders or eagles fan.

I'd repost your avatar with the intention being that the character is caring (WTF is that show called?), but then you'd accuse me of cheating on my anime pillow with some 2D modeled hussy or something.

Career enders happen.I was playing madden and my round 1 draft pick fucked up his vertebrae and was done after 1 year, why was there no PeyPey surgery available I ask you WHY!!!! At this rate NFLGaf will be shut down by week 7
Actually, you're right, maybe Payton was on holiday in
There are some really bad jokes out here in Germany about Dutch drivers like this one:
Was passiert, wenn ein Holländer zum zehnten Mal durch die Führerscheinprüfung fällt?
I'm not even gonna translate it as it's embarassingly unfunny, but I'll just say it was probably just your average Dutch driver. No bounties necessary.

I think you are taking this the wrong way...
Hehehe, classic. I bet they have some good one about Germans that don't involve Nazis.
Sleeping. Couldn't do it Sunday morning.
So jealous. I'll only make it to Boston and maybe a few other parts of NE, and on a budget. Might catch a college game, but it's not the same.
I don't wanna be young (well, not that young) and broke anymore.
Dutch is too funny. I can understand most of that, but it's still very different. Opblaaskrokodil is an awesome word.
I think I'm gonna start learning Dutch.
My budget will be quite stretched, but we start in Boston as well. When are you there?
Written Dutch is so much easier to understand, but spoken, I dunno. Sounds to me like a very drunk German who tries to speak English.
Opblaaskrokodil -- Alligatorjandro should change his user name to that.
20th-1st of October. Prolly a bit earlier than you.
YES!!!

Griffin looked great, but let's temper our expectations here, it was the Saints defense.
Similarly, Luck looked like trash, but he was against the Bears D.
Yup.

There's two games on tonight at 7 and 10pm EST respectively (not sure what time it is where you live). Hopefully you get them

I'm still not sure what the takeaway should be from the Dolphins game. The final score really doesn't tell the story as the only part of the game that actually mattered was the last 3 minutes of the first half (it was 3-3 before that and 24-3 at the half). Sure Tannehill had three picks on three consecutive drives but none of them were just simple bad passes or bad decisions; the first was on a slant that should have been caught by Naanee and the next two were balls that were tipped straight up at the line. That kind of stuff is Tannehill's fault to some degree but he didn't play nearly as poorly as the 3 picks stat might indicate.
The running game looked really solid in the first half other than Thomas' fumble but running wasn't an option in the second half thanks to the then lopsided score. I think the Dolphins' biggest issue was finishing drives (same as last year with Moore), they had quite a few promising drives fizzle out near the 50 and a few more late in the game fail on 4th downs in the redzone.
So yeah, I'm not sure what to think. The game looked very ugly for a span of 3 minutes but besides that the Dolphins hung in there and showed some good signs for most of the game. Hopefully Tannehill will learn to avoid throwing his passes that low and the Fins will find a way to finish their drives in Week 2.

Batted passes are the Quarterback's fault. If you can't get passes over the LOS then you won't make it very far.

Sure, but if he's going to throw some picks in his first NFL game I'd rather them be on tipped passes at the line than a stupid read or a ball forced into double/triple coverage. One of those issues is much more easily correctable, in my opinion. And let's not discount the fact that the Texans D is pretty freaking solid as well.
Also, didn't Peyton have just as many balls tipped last night?

Why did you get unbanned so quickly?
but you have anime-GAF bookmarked, so it's never as bad as it seems
That's the really cool thing about Chrome. I can have ponygaf, animegaf and bengals.com open automatically.

Everything hurts, but my face is less swollen so that is good. I think it might have been an assassin, hired by somebody who received a Shirtless fine and didn't agree. I will hire a professional Internet detective and I will find out the truth!
What the fuck is this? How did you come up with this :jnc?

Anyway, I'm fine with yesterday's loss. The whole day was a referendum on Peyton Manning and he didn't disappoint in a home game at Mile High where the Steelers have never been good. Even then, Manning had to go no huddle for the rest of the game to gas the D. Manning and Polamalu were engaged in a chess match, and Manning won. Troy was backed off all game.
Pass rush was non existent, but that was because the guys on the field were sucking wind.
Offense looked like it always has - Great passing attack, choked run game. That was mainly because our o-line ironically was unchanged from last year, shy of a position swap (Colon to left guard) and only got worse from there.
Redman looked like trash. I wonder what the Mendenhall haters have to say about this game. Dwyer ground out some good runs though. That guy is a sleeper.
I'm still excited about the offense; love the game Haley called (though you can tell a lot of it is contingent on having two pulling guards, which Ramon Foster just can't do. Get well Decastro).
As for Manning himself, his arm is gone. Of this I have no doubt. His head is as fresh as ever though, and as long as he can manipulate defenses he'll be fine.

Get 20 points tonight...
I thought Haley would be a bit more creative with his route combinations. So much speed and he underutilized it in my opinion. Like I said last night, Porter should not have been able to make such a difference. You run him off the ball every play and it should have opened things up. Just seemed odd. I wonder how much of it had to do with Haley not having time to scheme because of the Wallace holdout.

Most of his scheming in the preseason was a 2 WR 2 TE formation, with Sanders being the second Receiver, so that stands to reason. Wallace says he knows the playbook, but he only had one day of practice, so they'll probably ease him in lest he pulls a Revis and his hammy goes game 2.

What makes you say that? I was driving during the first half and most of the third quarter so I didn't see the entire game but Peyton looked great from what little I saw. At worst his arm looked 80-90% to me.
